In Trump’s first term, the department promoted secular causes on its Instagram. Under Marco Rubio, it boosts explicit Christian messaging.

    “Jesus Christ!” said the Christian. “Oh my God!” said the Jew. “Fuck all of those stupid motherfuckers!” said the regular citizens just trying to make a living.

    Obviously, Trump is about the most un-Christlike person possible. I don’t think Rubio is much better. But even if he was, and I agreed with everything he tried to do, as a Christian I would still want there to be a separation of church and state, as the Constitution intends. But this administration will use anything: religion, conservatives, guns, corruption, lies, war, etc in their pursuit of power and to inflict misery on those they hate. Fuck them all so hard…

      It’s also what Jesus intended.

      Unfortunately the vast majority of your religious brethren do not agree with you and think that American is a Christian country, that should stand by Christian morals above all.

      I’m with ya. Funny thing is Marco’s body language. He looks as though he couldn’t be possibly any more miserable than he is. He sits there with a faraway stare and only acts under hardline orders from some higher up the chain.

      They are definitely Christians too. You don’t get to disown them because their existence is inconvenient to you.

        No. They’re not. They would deport Jesus if he ever returned. They are filled with hate, not love.

          Sounds like you need to take that up with them then.

          I suggest you look into the “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

          Their interpretation of the Bible is exactly as valid as protestants or fucking mormons. All of them are comical delusions meant to control people. There are no differences between the people propping up the vile system of religions.

    Antichristian, that is; in service to Mammon and to the Beast 666, Nero redivivus.

      Sorry, there is nothing antichristian about this. The Bible literally endorses slavery, stop pretending like they’re some kind of moral paragon.
